Brimfield: Police find big stash of marijuana during traffic stop

BRIMFIELD -- Police in Brimfield have recovered more than half a pound of marijuana after making an early morning traffic stop.

The officer pulled over a car after watching the driver leave an elementary school parking lot about 1:30 a.m. When the driver made a left turn from the right-hand lane, the officer pulled the driver over on Howe Road west of SR 43.

Police say the driver had a suspended license in addition to being found with the marijuana.

Brimfield's Chief David Oliver reported the traffic stop and arrest on the police department's Facebook page. He went on to add, "Don't bring drugs near our schools. Whatever you do as an adult is your business. Having a half-pound of weed on school property, regardless of the time of day, is just ignorant."
